DHS document shows Obama administration wrestling with ‘DREAM Act' policy
Nearly two months after President Obama announced a controversial decision to bypass Congress and use his executive powers to spare younger illegal immigrants from the threat of deportation, Fox News has obtained a draft document that shows officials at the Department of Homeland Security wrestling internally with how to implement the new policy.
DHS officials expect more than 1 million people to apply for the government’s leniency once the window for such applications opens on Aug. 15.Already, federal sources tell Fox News, roughly 1,200 people have received approval for “deferred action†as “childhood arrivals,†even before the application window has opened, because their cases were already under review for prosecutorial discretion.
Under the policy announced by Obama on June 15, a stay in deportation proceedings can be granted if the applicant can prove that he or she was under age 31 on that date; came to the United States before turning 16, and meets a host of other criteria relating to schooling, military service and staying on the right side of the law.

DHS should be focused on getting enough buses chartered to return these illegals back to their country of origin.
